Embodiment Construction

[0016]FIG. 1 illustrates a general overview of an information retrieval and communication network 10 including a client system 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In computer network 10, client system 20 is coupled through the Internet 40, or other communication network, e.g., over any LAN or WAN connection, to any number of server systems 501, to 50N. As will be described herein, client system 20 is configured according to the present invention to communicate with any of server systems 501 to 50N, e.g., to access, receive, retrieve and display media content and other information such as web pages.

[0017] Several elements in the system shown in FIG. 1 include conventional, well-known elements that need not be explained in detail here. For example, client system 20 could include a desktop personal computer, workstation, laptop, PDA, cell phone, or any WAP-enabled device or any other computing device capable of interfacing directly or indirectly to the Internet. Cl...

Abstract

Systems and methods for processing search requests include analyzing received queries in order to provide a more sophisticated understanding of the information being sought. In one embodiment, queries are parsed into units, which may comprise one or more words or tokens of the query, and the units are related in concept networks. Trend analysis is performed by sorting the queries into subsets along a dimension of interest and comparing concept networks for different subsets. Trend information is usable to enhance a response of an automated search agent to a subsequently received query.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present disclosure is related to the following commonly-assigned co-pending U.S. Patent applications: Provisional Application No. 60 / 460,222, filed Apr. 4, 2003, entitled “Universal Search Interface Systems and Methods”; and Provisional Application No. 60 / 510,220, filed Oct. 9, 2003, entitled “Systems and Methods for Search Processing Using Clustering of Units.” The respective disclosures of these applications are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] With the advent of the Internet and the multitude of web pages and media content available to a user over the World Wide Web (web), there has become a need to provide users with streamlined approaches to filter and obtain desired information from the web. Search systems and processes have been developed to meet the needs of users to obtain desired information. Examples of such technologies can be accessed through Yahoo!, Google and other ...
